Four Limbs Supporting the Sky!

Chapter 85 Four Limbs Supporting the Sky!

Hongjun Daozu looked at the six saints, pondered for a while, and then spoke again.

"Now that Buzhou Mountain has been destroyed by Gonggong, the primordial world has lost its pillar supporting the sky. We must now find another way to make it a pillar supporting the sky."

After pondering for a moment, Hongjun Daozu spoke again.

"Deep in the North Sea there is a giant tortoise that has existed since the beginning of time. It has been cultivating its physical body, which has led to its current physical form."

"The four legs of the giant turtle of the North Sea can be used as raw materials to support the sky."

As Hongjun Daozu spoke, he looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu and then continued.

"My disciple Tongtian, I entrust the task of retrieving the four legs of the Xuan Turtle to you. Go and retrieve the four legs of the giant turtle, and I will refine them into pillars that support the sky."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader bowed to Hongjun Daozu and then began his journey towards the North Sea.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing immediately transmitted his voice to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Teacher, all things have a spirit, and should not be killed indiscriminately. Even if you do kill one, you must leave it with a glimmer of hope."

Chen Qing merely gave Tongtian Jiaozhu a heads-up; how Tongtian Jiaozhu should choose was beyond his control.

Upon hearing Chen Qing's telepathic message, the Tongtian Sect Leader stopped, glanced at Chen Qing, and then slowly nodded.

Chen Qing watched the Tongtian Sect Leader leave, then closed his eyes and began to wander in his mind.

Everything now is none of his business. As for how to repair the primordial world, that is naturally the responsibility of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Hongjun Daozu glanced at the remaining five saints, and then slowly spoke.

"Nuwa, you shall repair the place where Mount Buzhou originally supported the sky."

After saying this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly grabbed at the void, and countless five-colored stones appeared.

"These are five-colored stones, which I entrust to you to refine and transform into something to mend the heavens."

After doing all this, Hongjun Daozu remained silent and quietly waited for Tongtian Jiaozhu's return.

The Tongtian Sect Leader arrived at the depths of the North Sea. Looking at the endless sea, he frowned and, with a sweep of his primordial spirit, quickly located the giant tortoise.

The Tongtian Sect Leader went straight to the giant turtle in the North Sea. Seeing that the giant turtle was still asleep, he couldn't help but call out to wake it up.

"Giant Turtle of the North Sea, the primordial world is now facing a great calamity, and your four legs are needed to support the heavens. Would you be willing?"

The Master of the Heavenly Sect stated his purpose for coming directly: to take his life.

Upon hearing the words of the Tongtian Sect Leader, the giant tortoise of the North Sea suddenly awoke, opening its previously closed eyes, which flashed with a cold light.

"Who are you? How dare you claim to take my four legs the moment you arrive? You've got quite the nerve."

The Tongtian Sect Leader listened to the words of the giant turtle in the North Sea and shook his head indifferently.

"Giant Demon of the North Sea, I am the Tongtian Sect Master, a saint in the primordial world. Today, the primordial world is facing a great calamity. The Dao Ancestor Hongjun has ordered me to come and take your four limbs, using your four legs as pillars to support the sky."

"Rest assured, the primordial world now contains the cycle of reincarnation, so you may safely go and be reborn."

Because of Chen Qing's reminder, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not take action directly, but instead communicated with the giant tortoise verbally first.

The giant tortoise of the North Sea was somewhat stunned by Tongtian Jiaozhu's words.

He looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"The place of reincarnation—where is that? When did it appear?"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head helplessly.

"The Land of Reincarnation was created by the Ancestral Witch Houtu. It is a place specifically for the reincarnation of all beings in the primordial world. If you are willing to offer up your four legs to support the sky, your next life will be immeasurable."

Upon hearing this, the giant tortoise of the North Sea silently calculated in its mind that it had lived in the North Sea since birth and had never left this place. In any case, it would open its eyes and take a look when it woke up, and then go back to sleep.

As for anything that happens in the primordial world, he doesn't care about it at all; for him, there's nothing worth caring about.

At this moment, he was also unclear about the place of reincarnation mentioned by the Tongtian Sect Master, but with his powerful supernatural abilities, he had already figured it out.

At this moment, the giant tortoise of the North Sea also knew that it was destined to die today, because there was no one more suitable than it in the primordial world, and there was no second pillar supporting the sky.

He glanced at the Tongtian Sect Leader, then shook his head.

He simply shook his head, yet this triggered a massive tsunami.

"Master Tongtian, I know you now. You are a Heavenly Saint, an existence who has attained the Saintly status. Your strength is extremely powerful in the primordial world. I am no match for you."

"Since you say so, does that prove you can escort me to reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader nodded in agreement.

"North Sea Giant Turtle, you should know that I am a Heavenly Sage. Every word and action of mine carries the mandate of Heaven, and every syllable can replace the Heavenly Way."

"If you are willing to offer up your limbs, then I will personally send you into the cycle of reincarnation and guide you back onto the path of cultivation in the future."

Hearing Tongtian Jiaozhu's words, the giant tortoise of the North Sea breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu, and solemnly nodded.

"Master Tongtian, since you have said so, I am willing to offer up my four legs to be the pillar supporting the sky. However, I would like to trouble the Sage to keep this body safe for me."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, the giant tortoise of the North Sea said no more. Its true spirit flew out, separated from its physical body, and came to the Tongtian Sect Master.

When the Tongtian Sect Leader saw that the true spirit of the giant turtle of the North Sea had already separated from its physical body, he communicated with the power of the Heavenly Dao, opened a passage connecting to the Underworld, and wrapped its true spirit with the power of a sage, sending the true spirit of the giant turtle of the North Sea into the Underworld.

There were quite a few members of the Jie Sect in the underworld. When they saw the aura and holy power of the Tongtian Sect Master, they knew what to do.

After Tongtian Jiaozhu finished doing all this, he closed the space again and then began to examine the giant tortoise's true form.

After examining the giant tortoise for a moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader no longer hesitated and took out his supreme treasure, the Zhuxian Sword, to slash at the giant tortoise's four legs.

The Zhuxian Sword was so sharp that it easily severed the four legs of the giant tortoise. The Tongtian Sect Leader put away the four legs, then looked at the huge Xuan Turtle body and waved his hand to take it away as well.

Since we promised the giant turtle of the North Sea to take his physical body away, we cannot go back on our word.

After doing all this, the Tongtian Sect Leader opened a spatial passage and returned to the battlefield.

At this moment, Hongjun Daozu and the others were waiting here.

When everyone saw the Tongtian Sect Leader appear, they understood that he had retrieved the four legs of the giant turtle from the North Sea.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stepped out of the spatial passage and went directly to Hongjun Daozu, bowing to him.

"Teacher, the four-legged disciple of the giant turtle of the North Sea has been retrieved. Please use your magic to transform it into a pillar supporting the sky."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu looked at the four legs of the giant turtle from the North Sea that Tongtian Jiaozhu had taken out and nodded in agreement.

Then, Hongjun Daozu used his great supernatural powers to begin refining the four legs into pillars supporting the sky.

Chen Qing glanced at Hongjun Daozu and saw that he was refining the pillar supporting the sky, but he did not say anything.

When Hongjun Daozu was refining it, he added a lot of chaotic elements, and it was finished in just a short while.

With a wave of his hand, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun distributed the pillars he had crafted to the four directions of the primordial world.

At this moment, with the pillar supporting the sky, the primordial world had a new support, and it would never sink again. The earth would no longer sink, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

With a wave of his hand, the pillar supporting the sky, which was originally visible to the naked eye, disappeared.

Upon seeing this, everyone knew that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had set up a great formation to protect this pillar supporting the sky.

After all, there is no second giant turtle from the North Sea on the primordial land. Once this pillar supporting the sky is destroyed again, the merging of the primordial world is inevitable.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing immediately withdrew his River of Laws and ceased supporting the sky.

Seeing this, everyone remained silent and waited quietly for Hongjun Daozu to speak.

Hongjun Daozu glanced at everyone, then looked at Chen Qing and Pingxin, without saying a word.

Hongjun Daozu remained silent, Chen Qing was currently lost in his own world, and Pingxin Niangniang was also silent; for a moment, no one dared to speak.
